To make a referral
There are 3 easy ways to refer a patient:
When referring patients
Referrals are subject to an on-site evaluation conducted by a Bethesda Referral Specialist. Our liaisons work closely with families and discharge planners to ensure that the admission process is smooth. In addition, they can aid in answering financial and insurance questions.
Please have the following information available so that your request can be processed efficiently:
- Patient's personal information (name, address, phone, other contact information)
- Patient's medical information (condition, cause, medical course)
- Patient's financial information (insurance, etc.)
